The Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM Lens is a versatile wide-angle prime lens designed for Canon’s full-frame mirrorless EOS R series cameras. Weighing only 270g, this compact and lightweight lens combines a useful wide-angle field of view with close focusing abilities and a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, making it a great do-it-all lens for landscapes, architecture, interiors, vlogging, and unique close-up shots.
The fast f/1.8 aperture enables shooting in low light, allows good background blur for portraits, and delivers excellent sharpness even when wide open. The built-in 5-stop optical image stabilisation provides up to 6.5 stops of stabilisation when paired with a stabilised EOS R camera, benefiting both stills and video shooting. A stepping motor focuses quickly, smoothly and quietly for both photographs and video recording.
With a minimum focusing distance of 0.14m and 0.5x maximum magnification, the lens can focus very closely. This, combined with the wide 24mm field of view, allows for creative framing that shows small subjects large while keeping their surroundings in context. A separate control ring and manual focus ring provide intuitive handling, allowing adjusting of settings without taking your eye from the viewfinder.
The Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM is a versatile wide-angle prime lens perfect for landscapes, architecture, interiors, vlogging and uniquely framed close-up macro shots. Its bright aperture, close focusing abilities, compact size and affordability make it a smart choice for those starting.
The fast f/1.8 maximum aperture enables shooting in low-light situations where slower lenses would struggle. It allows using faster shutter speeds to capture sharp images handheld as well as enabling greater control over depth of field for selective focus. When paired with the EOS R series cameras, it makes this small lens a versatile option for available light photography.
The effective image stabilisation provides up to 5 stops of compensation to counteract camera shake. This allows sharp handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds, especially useful in low light. When paired with a stabilised EOS R series camera body, this increases to 6.5 stops of stabilisation, bringing even more flexibility for low-light photography and stable video recording while walking or in motion.
A minimum focus distance of 0.14m paired with a 0.5x magnification ratio allows for creative close-up shots. Unique perspectives are possible, with the ability to focus very near to small subjects yet still include their surroundings in the context of the 24mm wide angle field of view. This combines flexibility for macro work with landscape and architectural photography.
The quiet stepper motor (STM) autofocus drive allows smooth and fast autofocus that is also quiet, making this lens equally at home whether shooting stills or video. Touch and drag AF further enhances intuitively setting the focus point when composing images on the rear screen. Focus breathing is also minimal, maintaining the angle of view while racking focus.
Weighing just 270 grams, the Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM lens features an elegant design with modern styling. Small in size, it is easy to pack in any kit bag and carry all day for city breaks or landscape photography trips without adding noticeable bulk. The streamlined design also balances well on the EOS R series camera bodies.
The programmable control ring can be set to adjust different settings like aperture, ISO or exposure compensation, providing intuitive fingertip access while shooting. Visual aids in the viewfinder or on the rear LCD clearly show the current setting in use. This further aids quick operation without taking your eye off to adjust camera controls instead.
Engineered specifically for use with Canon’s RF mount mirrorless cameras, the optical design takes advantage of the short flange back distance. This allowed the inclusion of an aspheric lens element that suppresses aberrations and delivers excellent sharpness across the frame – even when shooting wide open at f/1.8 or for close-ups. The bright f/1.8 aperture further adds to the versatility.
The Canon RF 24mm f1.8 Macro IS STM Lens is compatible with the following Canon EOS R series mirrorless cameras:
Offering creative perspectives from fisheye-like wide angles to uniquely framed macro close-ups, the 24mm focal length combined with bright aperture, stabilisation and close focus abilities makes this compact prime a highly versatile lens across varied shooting genres.
The Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM lens delivers impressive versatility and value for money in a compact package. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture enables shooting in low light, offers background blur for subject isolation, and provides excellent sharpness – even wide open. Paired with effective image stabilisation up to 6.5 stops, this small prime lens will produce sharp handheld shots and steady video in dim conditions.
Autofocus is fast and quiet thanks to Canon’s STM technology, suitable for both stills and video recording. The macro focusing mode allows for uniquely framed close-ups, using the 24mm perspective to capture small subjects while keeping their surroundings in context. This sets it apart from standard macro lenses.
Build quality is robust although the lens lacks weather sealing at this price point. The streamlined design focuses on core functionality like the customisable control ring rather than an abundance of external controls. Optical performance is superb, including minimal distortion and sharp results across the frame.
The Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM hits a sweet spot of speed, unique close focusing abilities, lightweight, and wide-angle coverage at an affordable cost. Photographers and content creators looking to upgrade from a standard kit lens will appreciate the increased light-gathering abilities and creative perspective this compact prime lens provides.
